The band started out in Gothenburg by Feffe and Matte in late 2008 as a two piece writing a few songs. Influenced by the greats like The Melvins, Black Sabbath, The Jesus Lizard and Poison Idea, the band started to evolve their own sound. It all started to get a bit more serious in early 2009 when the two-piece grew in to being a four-piece when Ulf and Peter joined the line up, and gig requests started dropping in. The band has released one album, three 7” vinyl singles and done a good number of live shows.
In May 2010 they released their self-titled debut album. The album has received splendid reviews and ended up in the absolute top of the Swedish review charts of 2010 with an average of 4.2 out of 5. Bombus has also been appointed Band of the week by Fenriz of Darkthrone. In March 2012, bassist Ulf Lundén decides to leave the band. He is replaced by Jonas Rydberg. Since the debut album the band has been performing live extensively. BOMBUS released their second album The Poet And The Parrot in August 2013, and it has received excellent reviews from everywhere.
